Chapter 285: Copper Shackles 1/2

In the face of the menacing cattle tribe, the pig tribe can't retreat, and it can't retreat.

This is the homeland they have just established, and the adult tribe can still retreat, but there are still hundreds of underage tribesmen, and the pig tribe cannot retreat with their whole body, and they cannot carry food, fishing nets and other items on the way to escape, they can only desperately resist the attack of the cattle tribe.

However, the young leader of the pig tribe overestimated the strength of his tribe, and the rattan shield and rattan armor were lacking, and when the two sides shot arrows at each other, the casualties of the pig tribe personnel were several times that of the cattle tribe personnel, and the distance between the two teams was less than five zhang, and the casualties of the pig tribe personnel had exceeded a hundred.

To the south of the Pig Tribe's residence, the Ox Cavalry fought against the 31 adults and nearly 100 juveniles of the Pig Tribe.

The ox cavalry rode on the tall oxen, and condescendingly attacked the people of the pig tribe with stone spears or stone axes, and the cattle cavalry and horses were wearing rattan armor, and it was difficult for the people of the pig tribe to cause much damage to the cattle cavalry.

On the other hand, the pig tribe team led by the wind only had three rattan armors, nine rattan shields, and thirty-one adult clansmen were the main force of battle, and the ox cavalry directly ignored the nearly 100 juvenile clansmen, and the weapons attacked the adult enemy.

In just a few dozen breaths, nearly half of the thirty-one adult tribesmen were killed and wounded, and more than a dozen minor tribesmen were knocked down by the way, but the targets of the bull cavalry were mainly male enemies, and women were their trophies.

It's a terrible battle!

In the end, the Ox tribe conquered the Pig tribe at the cost of one ox cavalry, twenty-seven male tribesmen, and forty-five female tribesmen, and the pig tribe of more than 1,000 people was left with only two hundred and sixty-three adult women and girls who were close to adulthood.

Counting his own losses, the cow leader frowned, so many losses were a bit beyond his expectations, the cow leader did not expect that this target tribe could gather so much combat power and bring such a big loss to the cattle tribe.

However, the Niu leader is still a little puzzled, the target tribe has more combatants than the Niu tribe, and it should bring greater losses to the Niu tribe, and it will not even be smaller than the losses in the last war with the Blood Tiger Tribe.

"What a strange tribe." The bull leader put the matter behind him and went to count the people and find the spoils.

There are fewer adult clansmen in the pig tribe, but there are a large number of clansmen who are close to adulthood on the side to assist, and in the eyes of the dead leader of the pig tribe, this should be a near-close battle, but in the end, it was a fiasco for the pig tribe.

Not only the dead leader of the Pig Tribe, but also the other people who knew the number of both sides of the battle would not think that the battle between the Pig Tribe and the Ox Tribe would end in a fiasco for the Pig Tribe.

The lack of rattan shield and rattan armor is only a small reason, but the most important reason is that the people who can fight the pig tribe can fight died in battle before and during the migration of the pig tribe.

Every time there is a battle, the leader will charge in front with the clansmen with high force, and the clansmen with low force will charge behind, and in the tragic battle, the easiest to die are those who charge ahead with high force, counting the one who died in this battle, four leaders of the pig tribe have died this year, and the leader is almost the most powerful clansman in the pig tribe.

Along with the first three leaders, there were also a large number of high-powered tribesmen in the pig tribe, and if the fourth leader who died was placed at the beginning of this year, it is expected that his strength would not rank in the top ten in the pig tribe.

The tribesmen with high force are all dead, and there are some remnants of the tribesmen with low force, how can they resist the "army" of the extremely vicious cattle tribe.

After this battle, the Niu tribe made some gains, losing seventy-three tribesmen, but there were two hundred and sixty-three women of the pig tribe as trophies, not only women, but the pig tribe that migrated from the south had many advantages over the Niu tribe.

The pig tribe will grow hemp, use hemp fiber to weave linen cloth to make linen, make hemp rope and weave fishing nets, the pig tribe can fire better pottery, the pig tribe grows a higher yield per mu than the cattle tribe, and the pig tribe's bow-making skills are a little better than the cattle tribe......

The pig tribe that has been developing steadily for hundreds of years has made progress in all aspects, which is not comparable to the cattle tribe, but it is a pity that the pig tribe is too unlucky, a sudden attack made the pig tribe hit hard, and there were many battles on the way to relocate to this side, and the strength continued to weaken, and finally moved to this side, and was discovered by the powerful cattle tribe and was destroyed in one fell swoop.

The pig tribe completely dissipated, everything in the pig tribe became the trophy of the cattle tribe, there are women as trophies, some advanced technology of the pig tribe will be obtained by the cattle tribe sooner or later, and when the cattle tribe digests the spoils obtained from the pig tribe, the development speed of the cattle tribe will increase again.

The cow tribe is becoming more powerful.

Su Yan, who had already regarded the Niu tribe as the first goal of the Dragon Tribe's future development to the south, did not know that the Niu tribe had conquered another tribe and obtained a large number of technologies that were very advanced for the Niu tribe, and Su Yan was busy with one thing in the smelting area - casting copper shackles.

The dragon tribe has only two choices for the people of the target tribe to fight, one is to transform into their own people, the other is to kill, they can't be used as slaves all the time, the most important reason is that the rope can't bind the slaves, if you don't send a large number of people to guard the slaves, the slaves can easily find the opportunity to riot or escape.

It is better to send a large number of people to guard slaves than not to have slaves, so there are only two options left: life or death.

However, if the shackles are made of metal, it is different, and if the slave is restrained by a heavy metal shackle that cannot be easily removed, the slave will not be able to run, and his own strength will be greatly limited by the metal shackles.

There are no metal shackles, and an adult clansman of the Dragon Tribe guards up to two slaves, which is prone to all kinds of things; With metal shackles, it is possible for an adult to guard five or more slaves.

It is a very good choice to let slaves do heavy work such as mining, moving bricks, and building walls instead of the clansmen, effectively alleviating the problem of adult labor shortage in the dragon tribe, even if the slave dies in the labor.

Su Yan didn't think of casting metal shackles before, one is that the production of blister copper in the dragon tribe is not high, and the other is the problem of locking the shackles, so Su Yan has always ignored the matter of metal shackles, and only remembered a few days ago that shackles can be smashed to death without locks, just smash them to death with rivets, and it takes a lot of effort to take off the shackles that are smashed, and it will make a huge sound.

The composition of a pair of shackles is simple, two shackles, a chain, and four rivets.

The shackle ring is divided into two semicircles, and the two semicircles can be combined into a shackle ring with two rivets to wear on the foot or hand, and one end of the shackle chain needs to be in the middle of the two semicircles when the rivet on the inner side, so that the two shackles can be connected with a shackle chain.
